The Song begins with a murder in the heart of San Francisco and quickly immerses the reader into the
Mayan spirit world with our two main heroes, Detective Riley Holden and research editor Sarina Conti. Riley and
Sarina are cast together along with a mystic from the Mayan spirit world, Dana (XBALANQUE), as their spirit guide.
The three follow a path of mystery and danger on a quest to confront the Mayan god, CUM-HAU, god of death and
lord of the underworld who is attempting to manipulate the Human race into self-destruction. CUM-HAU has stifled
the connection between light and dark and has cast the planet into a state of imbalance. Riley and Sarina must undo
what CUM-HAU has done and restore the delicate balance of light and dark energies if the Human race is to work in
harmony and survive as a species.
The Song is not a story of good versus evil. There is nothing to be divided; nothing to be conquered. It is a
tale about what happens to a world when the light and dark energies become compromised and how the people of
any world can truly work together to solve the issues that plague their global environment once the light and dark
energies are restored and become balanced once again.
